Hollywood Commie Brigade Opens Their Wallets For Obama’s 2012 Reelection Bid…
It’s Sunday night, so this qualifies as news.
(Politico) — President Barack Obama’s latest fundraising report resembles an A-list of Hollywood stars, with donations from some of the top celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Among the more than 550,000 donors to the president’s 2012 reelection bid were big-name movie stars including actors George Clooney, Michael Douglas, Sharon Stone, Michael Keaton, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson. Filmmaker Steven Spielberg and his wife, actress Kate Capshaw, also gave to the 2012 campaign, according to the latest Federal Election Commission report. Jennifer Garner and Gwyneth Paltrow both contributed under their married names —Affleck and Martin, respectively.
“30 Rock” actor Alec Baldwin, who has often toyed with a potential political run, also shelled out cash for Obama’s second-quarter fundraising haul. And several other TV actors — such as “Monk”’s Tony Shalhoub, “Glee”’s Jane Lynch, “24”’s president Dennis Haysbert and sci-fi stars Scott Bakula and Richard Dean Anderson — joined Baldwin in contributing to the president’s reelection bid.
Comedians Will Ferrell, Carl Reiner and “The Simpsons”’s Yeardley Smith also doled out money for Obama, whose campaign attracted a record-breaking $86 million in donations.
According to the July quarterly report, the president’s reelection campaign raised $47 million, while the Democratic National Committee raised $38 million through Obama’s joint committee.
About 40 percent of the president’s record-breaking take came from big-money bundlers, according to a POLITICO analysis of donors listed on Obama’s campaign web site. Among those bundlers were top Hollywood insiders Andy Spahn, Ari Emanuel and Jeffrey Katzenberg.
Spahn — an entertainment consultant who was appointed in 2008 to the President’s Commission on Arts and Humanities —brought in over $500,000 in the last quarter. Katzenberg, a Hollywood mogul and DreamWorks Animation CEO, also appears in the group of bundlers who’ve raised over $500,000.
Emanuel, who served as the inspiration for “Entourage”’s movie agent Ari Gold, raised between $50,000-$100,000 for his brother Rahm’s former boss.

amazing how so many people who are good at acting are so bad with reality.
…but then again someone else wrote the words for them ..then told them how to say them, where to stand, where to look …truthfully they probably need a script to wipe themselves.
We won’t forget that Hollywood collaborated in this deception.
And yet more reasons to boycott their films, and turn off the TV. Compared to the stars of yesteryear, these people ain’t shit.
That is all people can do 911 Infidel.
These people are so wealthy and have the best tax lawyers and accountants they are almost completely immune to Obamanomics.
More reasons to turn off the TV and read the classics.
Obama is supported by the philthy rich worst forms of humanity in the whole country. I wonder how many of them are private jet owners?
if these commie rat bastards really wanted to pay more taxes theym can send their checks to the treasury or fire their tax attorneys and take the standard deduction. bet none do it cause it’s really about the communist takeover of the world they are interested in.
I wonder how many of the 550,000 donors were from the “Lunch with Obama/Biden” Raffle?
Betcha if you back all of those $3 raffle tickets out from the campaign you’d note that almost all of that $89 mil came from BIG $$.
Obama does not have a campaign base any longer. It’s all just optics. Hence his need to fundraise in for almost two solid years. Think about it.
Sowing the seeds of their own destruction…
I used to live and work in Hollywood. It is very much absent from reality. Lot’s of people there have shit for brains.. They are a whole other category of elitists. The majority of them live in their own world, a world that doesn’t have all that much in common with ordinary americans. They equate Obama as being some sort of “star”, therefore he is just like them. Pathetic, really, really pathetic.
Nothing about Bollywood surprises me at all. That’s why I haven’t seen one of their piece of shit films in 3 years. I despise my money going to enrich these little monsters who would cut our throats if given the opportunity. Hollywood stars of yesteryear served their country and were proud of their service. To name a few; Clark Gable-bomber pilot, Ted Williams- fighter pilot (WWII & Korea), Jimmy Stewart- bomber pilot and flew 25 actual combat missions with 8th AF, and Warren Spahn (baseball great)- survived the Battle of the Bulge, just to name a few.
Not today, these character flawed cretins have no respect for anything; not even themselves. I wouldn’t piss in their ass if their guts were on fire.
This is why I no longer go to any of these people’s movies, don’t buy any of their crap. They’re obviously very rich and stupid, they can exercise their right to donate to whoever they want just as americans can exercise their right to not buy any of these liberal’s work (in many cases garabage).
Thanks for the list ZIP – now I know who to boycott.
I`m surprised Stephen Spielberg would donate to the golfer-in-chiefs re-election campaign. Didn`t anyone tell him that Obama hates the Jewish people? Shame on you Spielberg – you`re a disgrace. So Schindlers List was all about the mighty dollar and nothing more – you trecherous SOB.
Hollywood people really have no clue that they are seen as nothing but rich ignorant elitists by the very people who they advertise their products to.
I don’t like any of them-they are all hacks-and well many of them must be self hating jews after the way O threw Israel under the bus-they should be ashamed of themselves.
In other words what Bee1 said.
Is there anything these people have done that you like? Not me
Useful Idiots one and all…
“amazing how so many people who are good at acting are so bad with reality.”
When you don’t live in REALITY, like most of us, its easy to be complete retard! Good luck getting the mindless drones to boycott these assholes!
@Merrimac.
I loved Jennifer Garner in ’13 Going On 30′. Look at who she`s married to…Ben Aflleck – one of the biggest libturds in Hollywood. And he hasn`t had a decent movie since…well never actually.
And I`m still waiting for that fat SOB libturd Alec Baldwin to move to Canada like he promised if GW Bush got elected.
Take out the tits in movies and all you have left are a bunch of asses. Todays Hollywood.
Having been to Hollywood many times when I was a teen was an eye opening experience on how many freaks can be placed within a small area. When I here somebody saying that they want to visit Hollywood when they go to L.A. I say “Why would you do that to yourself”
Talk about circling the drain. These people are disconnected from real life. That town is busting at the seems with real creepy people.
If I am watching TV and one of the Liberal Elite comes on screen, the channel gets changed. Just say NO and do not watch the movies that they are in. Do not buy that ticket at the theater.
Millions of remote controls can send the ratings down the tubes. These people are just actors and that is it. The only difference is that they make more money than Clowns and Mimes.
I have levels more respect for he scientist across the street that is working on a cure for cancer. He is a real person who is working to truly better peoples lives.
Aw shit, not Richard Dean Anderson. Perhaps all those trips through the stargate fried his brain.
@Sentinel, speaking of WWII bomber pilots have you read any Ernie Pyle?
Hanks makes me the most sick. I hate that guy. Actually I hate all of them. It irritates me when they do the talk show circuit and talk about how rough it was to get up at 4 AM for a shoot, and for one scene they had to get into ice cold water. Wah, wah, wah. Life is hard all the way to the bank. God, I hate Hollywood.
Got news for them their cash will be going down the toilet.
Damn that “George Clooney” just irks the sh-t out of me. Like most of Hollywood of today, they hold themselves in high regard. They are not special or deserving of praise, quite the contrary.
Now we have a list of people that will need to be frog-marched to appear in front a Grand Jury when Obama is Impeached for Treason against The United States. Or better yet, a Military Tribunal. Aiding and Abetting for starters. Or being TOO STUPID for the good of society, and placing everyone else at risk.
Yeah, all Hollywood is is a bunch of tits and asses.
I never did watch ET i didnt care for it in the first place and especialy with spielsburg Im still star wars fan
What, no Sean Penn? He must be at Chavez` bedside mopping his brow.
Where is our Ronald Reagan?
@Helen A Handbasquet
I know, my heart sank when I read his name up top. I figured it kinda makes sense, MacGuyver was all about anti-guns and nonlethal approaches to situations…but on the other hand, Col./Gen. O’Neil racked up quite the impressive body count and wasn’t all too concerned with politics.
Sad, to say the least.
no surprise, democrats are always the favorite of elitists, and crony capitalists. we’ve got some really dumb celebs like Hanks Baldwin, Spielberg. the funny part is that they actually think their opinions are enlightened and important to the masses.
Don’t Hollywood assholes have a history of supporting communists…
Yep, Regulator, those that aren’t commies support those that are.
I have not turned on my television set in over five years. I get my information from the web and my entertainment from my DVD collection.
Actually i have tossed some of my DVD’s over the last few years also. I have over 500 books and the number continues to grow lol.
I honestly wish the Hollywood entertainment industry would wither and die on the proverbial vine. I mean who cares? Its entertainment not necessity.
No more vapid scripting! No more jaundiced and egocentric hacks who think they are actors! No more mainstreaming debauch ideals! No more pronz for the brain! Oh noes! Whatever shall we do with ourselves?!?!
Maybe pick up a book and *learn* something? Maybe spend more time with family and friends? Spend our money on more realistic investments for our kids?
Bleh Holloywood.
FACTS THE CONSERVATIVE TURD CANNOT GRASP AND RUN AWAY FROM:
1)Iraq war has cost us more than $1,000,000,000,000
2)The stimulus was $300,000,000,000 less than the Iraq war.
3)Defence spending is somewhere around $700,000,000,000/year
4)Medicare costs us somwhere around $490,000,000,000/year
5)Medicaid costs us somwehre around $290,000,000,000
6)Social security is around $700,000,000,000/year.
7)Social security is not taxed beyound the $106 k level.
8)Individual income tax generates about $1,000,000,000,000
7)Corporate income tax generates about $297,000,000,000
8)Social security and payroll taxes generate another $930,000,000,000.
The deficit is nothing but a simple arithmetic of a – b, where a is the sum total of all revenues and b is the sum total of all spending.
1)Only a f**cked up idiot who cannot add and subtract has the nerve to claim to be able the balance the budget by attacking spending only and even that without touching defence??????????? Defence = Medicare + Medicaid. (Actually Defence > Medicare +Medicaid). What’s up with the military industry complex (President Eisenhower 01/17/1961)?
2)Take a good look at the aggregate of the corporate income tax which is less than 1/3 of the individual income tax.
3)What have been the income distribution in America in the past 30 years? Who has been amassing the most wealth? What is the income gap today compared to 30 or 40 years ago?
4)What were the tax rates on top income earners in the 1950′s and 1960′s compared to today?
The conservative turd has neither the intellectual capacity and curiosity, nor the moral force and ethics to solve the nations challenging problems. The conservative turd has done nothing, absolutely nothing in the 20 years of repukelican presidents terms since Regan to attempt to solve these problems.
Now that a thinking man is in the White House trying to do his job, every 8th grader is suddenly an expert on the deficit and every Joe pot belly and his wife suddenly are the experts at balancing the budget.
Even if you give these a**holes a calculator, they won’t figure out the basic math for a basic arithmetic problem. Remember in algebra 1 way back in the 3rd or 4th grade when simple addition and subtraction were taught and sometimes the teacher would put someting like a -b, where a=a1+a2+a3…… and b=b1+b2+b3…. Jane and Joe got lost, pulled their hair out and cried I don’t want to take math. I hate algebra, what is it good for blah, blah, blah.
Now they pretend they even grasp the trailing zeros in any number >10.
You know very well, I know very well and your teachers then knew very well you won’t be able to grasp numbers beyond your fingers (hopefully you still have all ten of them and did not do something dumb like sticking it in your bulldog, or the electric saw you use for chopping winter firelog (if it is on and running and you hear the sound why you sacrifice your finger anyway)
Now you cannot count more than 8 or 9 with one or two fingers missing here and there
John–Did you notice how your post degenerated as it went on, until at the end it made no semantic sense whatsoever? Did you run out of steam? Or did the talking points page fall on the floor and you had to improvise the conclusion?
And thank you for the best laugh I’ve had all day:
“Now that a thinking man is in the White House trying to do his job…”
(p.s. the correct spelling is “Reagan”.)
I only go to see Adam sandler and John Voigt movies…and so should every conservative
Chock full of kapo shite!! And Dennis Haysbert; I’ll never be able to watch Heat again!
(
Gary Sinise is worth watching.

i can forgive him for supporting McCain, I guess.
I think @John McDonald ran off to take his meds…
Fools and their money are separated. That’s the good news. No matter how much money The One drags in, his record can’t be whitewashed this time.
As much as I despise obama and everything he stands for, it does frustrate me that he is able to raise so much money. BUT to play the devils advocate here, why should I boycott a Tom Hanks movie simply because of his politcal views. If a wealthy conservative farmer donates 5 million to Herman Cain, should the left stop eating tomatoes?
At a certain point you have to seperate politics from your everyday life.
No one should be punished for THEIR politcal views or how they use THEIR money and THEIR vote.
Now if someone directly insults our military or our country then by all means…boycott everything about them… just my opinion
@liar in chief; this is no longer just politics, it is life or death!! The life or death of America and the West. These scum do not have to live with obysmal’s policies!!
WE DO!! Act now or forever sink in to the islamo-commie mud!
They’ve probably bought themselves exemptions for when Obama lowers the boom on “the rich”.
Tom Hank, Danny Glover, Sean Penn….I refuse to watch any movie by them and many others. The only way to win is to hit Hollywood in the wallet. Don’t spend any money on anything these liberal slugs are involved with.
Yesterday I watched an old Gene Autry western. Tried to watch a little FOX news, but they sucked so bad, I switched the channel to SpongeBob.
John isnt even worth my time to reply to. Hes obviously an escapee from a looney bin. Besides, if I bothered to write the facts libturds couldnt run away from, it would be an entire book in this thread, and someone would steal it and publish it.
@ liar in chief – The difference in your example is Hollywood is pure entertainment. A farmer provides FOOD, which your body needs.
Aside from that, These people are contributing to other people that are trying to destroy our country.
My question is, what rock have you been hiding under??
You havent heard them directly insult the military or the country?? Open your ears / eyes, bud. They do it on a daily basis.
We arent boycotting them b/c we simply differ from them on p.o.v., theyre actively trying to wreck our economy / society, even if it is by merely donating.
Not to mention the fact that theyre actors, and need to keep their mouths shut and just do their worthless jobs: acting. We dont need to hear who they vote for. I also hate people that think b/c they have money their opinion means more.
If I were the farmer in your example, and I were donating tons of my money to the KKK, Skinhead nazis, Al Queda, etc. would you still want to buy my products, given the choice?
(and Yes, I did compare them to the KKK and nazis. Obama is trying to kill Israel, he helps Al Queda at every opportunity, and these aholes are donating money to him.)
All these Hollyweird commies are giving money to zer0 which has allowed him to pursue an anti American agenda. Dang straight I’ll punish them by witholding my hard earned money. Aiding and abetting the enemy, its your choice.
What a farce.
A stale, old slight-of-hand FARCE Obama’s “Let’s tax the super rich jet owners, millionaires and billionaires” line is…
These are the very same monied celebrities who will shell out $3,000 per hour chartering a jet and $35,800 per couple for Birthday cake and a photo with Obama …
Who know that tax shelters and loopholes will be in play for them come tax time… does anyone believe they would donate to get taxed at a higher rate?
They know – more precisely their lawyers and accountants know – its all just bread and circus BS.
As long as they pay homage and their dues, they can count on the VIP cash cow protection.
The middle class, who haven’t got the shelters or escape mechanisms of the big players, are the ones in Obama’s sights.
If a wealthy conservative farmer donates 5 million to Herman Cain, should the left stop eating tomatoes
a WEALTHY FARMER?
know any? cause all the ones i know (and it’s alot) work 18 hrs a day/ every day to barely break even.
The Hollywood leftists peering down their noses at us from their lofty perch. Do any of these people have degrees in political science? What makes them more educated in politics than myself? Clueless turds.
@John
Go fuck yourself.
Bee1 says:
“And I`m still waiting for that fat SOB libturd Alec Baldwin to move to Canada like he promised if GW Bush got elected.”
Alec is in for a surprise, we are’nt taking in US’s liberal draft dodging trash anymore. We got a good country and we intend
on keeping it that way.
Try Mexico
Let me get this straight. “Adults” playing dress-up and reciting lines that someone else wrote for them because most of them have the IQ of a sack of hair and VOILA! Suddenly, due to the wonders of capitalism, they make big bucks. Then they know SOOOO much more than the rest of us– who actually WORK for a living— and feel the need to “enlighten” us with their progressive opinions. What a sorry bunch of pompous poops.
OK, I can understand how someone who was not paying attention last time could have fallen for the “Hope and Change; I’m not Bush” hype, but, really, how can anyone support obama now? Or maybe these people would vote for Satan himself, if he was a black, Democrat, union supporter…
it just struck me how self defeating this is.
at the rate this country is going over the cliff , ‘the unenlightened, unwashed masses’ – soon won’t have money to see movies, much less time to listen to their retarded ‘do as i say, not as i do’ rhetoric
.
If they’re such “good folks” why don’t they make their checks out to the welfare state and help us all? At least now I know whom to boycott. Zip – would you publish more of these dorks? Also, the decent ones so we know who to support.
John McDonald, if you’re going to insult a large population of the country, it would help if you would attempt to sound more lucid and intelligent than those you’re insulting.
And yes, Gary Sinise is always worth watching. One of the very few who talks the talk and walks the walk.
Plus, you’ve got to love a guy whose band is called “The Lt. Dan Band.”
All of these commies are supporting the black panthers, Nation of Dumblam, Acorn, MB, and all waste of humanity. I can’t wait to see these fools in prison attire aprons.
And let’s keep talking about how the “rich and powerful” support the GOP.
Let’s push a new “Entertainment and Sports Tax” and see how these elites fall in line. You don’t need more than $2 million a year to pretend to be someone else or play a game. So any income over $2 million is taxed at 100%. I wonder how many contributions the great Obama would get then.
These are the “Useful Idiots” Communists will use until they’ve out lived their usefulness…then in typical Commie fashion, once America has become USSA those useful idiots will be eliminated.
My point is stars such as Julia Roberts, Mark Wahlberg, Robin Williams, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, even matt damon, Angelina Jolie, and also Tom Hanks have visted our troops overseas or supported them here.
Money is not going to with this election for that jackass.
I am just defending hollywood (for some unknown reason to me) that just because they have the money to give away does not mean people should boycott them for basically being a democrat.
obama is one and done thank God
Most of the left wing is full of morons anyways so why would you expect their rich members to be any different?
I disagree with Tom Hanks views politcally, but he makes me laugh and I enjoy his movies. Just because he has money to blow on a broken campaign does not mean anyone should not have the pleasure of enjoying his movies. IMO Hopefully my measly 20 bucks (which is all I can contribute from my military pay) will help out Mr. Cain but ultimately he will win the job with his mouth not my money.
98 % of these so called stars are Jews
A bunch of America Hating Commie Pukes, I wouldn’t spit on them if they were on fire!
Johnny lost a finger cause he “put” it in a bulldog?
Dumbass
I can’t stand Hanks movies anyway, the best he did was Road to Perdition and Private Ryan…beyond that he sucks. Sharon Stone is wwhore known for her crotch shot, and Clooney is boring as hell.
- I did not even go to the “new” Star Trek movie as I consider it heresy. I refuse to support the Hollywood industry and these commies and hypocrits.
I rarely go to teh movies anymore, I rarely rent DVDs or buy movies—I’m content with watching all my Star Trek seasons of all the series over and over
Guess that’s the reason I haven’t been to a movie theater in over a year. The vulgar content is the main turn off but the over all stories bore me to tears. I thought I’d go back to Netflix but there’s really nothing there; all the classics I’ve seen dozens of times and the new ones make me glad I didn’t put out any $$ to be insulted. The library is getting my time, attention and support. I don’t miss any of the cable shows. I did like “Justified” and “The Killing” last season on FX and AMC. “The Killing” made Seattle look like the last place on earth anyone would want to live…if you didn’t have any other reason!
Damn good comments on here. If the fools don’t wake up, when this commie gets thru with this country they will be in the unemployment lines with everyone else. Wake the Hell up folks if the working class has no work they sure won’t be watching your flicks. This Hopey Changey shit has wore it’s welcome out in my book. We need a President that has actually held a job and knows what working for a living is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just another list of fools to add to my already hefty boycott list.
Shouldn’t these wealthy movie stars be distributing all their wealth to the poor? or are they going to receive a waiver for that?
I will not be seeing any spielberg hanks or clooney. I will support netflix and keep money out of the box office. I will not tune into any show that hosts them.
Chris Dodd is out in Hollywood Cali with the commie club guild.
Conservatives hate freedom of speech. Thats why they boycott films.
